Introduction to Aspects: Soft Aspects and Orbs

By |2019-03-06T00:01:29+00:00March 15th, 2019|Astrology|

Soft Aspects and Orbs: The trine and sextile are often referred to as soft aspects, and they suggest an energy between planets which is easy, flowing and innate. These aspects suggest cooperation between the energies of two (or more) planets and can reflect innate talents, things that come easily or naturally to the individual. As such, they offer opportunities for creativity; however, if there are too many easy aspects within a chart, there can be very little for a person to strive for.

The Element of Air:  Communication, Connection, Ideas, and Intellect

By |2018-07-20T19:04:31+00:00July 20th, 2018|Astrology|

Those signs in Air tend to have energy directed towards communication and connection. Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are all bridge-builders of sorts, able to see both sides of a situation.  They are objective and logical, able to bring clarity to emotional situations. Airy people tend to be sociable, good networkers and connectors of ideas and people, though all three of the signs express differently as they reflect the ‘quadruplicity’ (or mode) to which they belong.

Fixity and the Fixed Quadruplicity

By |2018-05-23T22:30:55+00:00May 21st, 2018|Astrology|

Fixity reflects the sign occupied by the Sun during the middle (2nd third) of a season and is the time when what has been initiated during the previous sign has taken root and grown. The Fixed signs accept the ‘hand-off’ from the Cardinal signs and focus energy towards realization of the material result. Manifestation is what the fixed signs are all about and we see this energy express through the signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.

Mindful Heart Astrology ~ Uranus

By |2018-02-18T22:25:53+00:00February 16th, 2018|Astrology|

In Roman mythology Uranus was considered “The Great Awakener”, and to the Greeks he was the personification of heaven and “God of the Sky”. Of the myths, stories and legends that have existed about Uranus one suggests he was brought to life by Chaos, the first form of the universe, reflecting the often chaotic results of a trademark Uranus shakeup. Some key concepts associated with this planet include freedom, independence, shattering structure, spontaneous occurrences, rebellion, innovation and uniqueness. It is no surprise, therefore, that Uranus is associated with earthquakes, lightening, and electrical storms…clearly a force to be reckoned with.

Tiny Rebellions to Honor Uranus

By |2017-12-04T08:52:53+00:00November 30th, 2017|Astrology|

Uranus is the rebel of the solar system (literally - it rotates on its side). It has a particularly strong influence on all of us in our early forties as the instigator of the classic mid-life crisis. This is the time when Uranus reaches the half way point of its 84-year orbit and needles us with questions about whether we are freely expressing ourselves with true authenticity.

Mindful Heart Astrology ~ The Ninth House

By |2018-06-12T19:20:43+00:00November 24th, 2017|Astrology|

The Ninth House of the horoscope represents the areas of life that, in many ways, take us to higher realms. Philosophy, International Travel, Foreign Cultures and Higher Learning all serve to expand our inner and outer worlds. This is a ‘fire’ house, representing activities that inspire us to pursue them with passion and enthusiasm. There is a sense of individualism here that ignites a type of pioneering spirit and self-confidence.

Scorpio New Moon – The Warrior, Expansion, Death and Rebirth

By |2019-05-10T01:20:45+00:00November 16th, 2017|New Moon|

This is the path of the evolved Warrior. The mantram for Scorpio is, “Warrior am I and from the battle I emerge triumphant.” We are asked to do battle with our lower selves, our ego, the unredeemed parts of ourselves that usually hang out in the underworld. Once these unfinished parts of ourselves are recognized, accepted and held in the cauldron of a loving heart, transformation occurs. And this is the Scorpio journey. We are tested, we have trials, but we emerge triumphant.
